Yesterday was our third visit to the London Road Ale House. It's a great place to visit after watching a game at the Britannia Stadium. Ales on yesterday were Ossett Treacle Stout, Purple Moose Elderflower, Snake Eyes Hoppy Pale & Wincle Imperial Stout & Sir Phillip. Ciders were Broadoak Crimson King & Strawberry Cider, Lilley's Gladiator & Snail's Bank Elderflower Gin & Tonic. All of the drinks options are displayed on a large board on the side wall, including forthcoming beers. One of the barmen took to the piano shortly after we arrived to play "Delilah"! A very decent place to know about.

We'd heard about this new pub in Stoke after drinking at its sister pub, the Bridge Street Ale House in Newcastle-under-Lyme. If anything the staff in this place were even more friendly and the drinks range was better still. Ales were Weal Noir, Black Hole Cyborg, Stewart Edinburgh No. 3, Ramsgate Gadds No. 5 & Mobberley Road Runner. Ciders were Tumbledown Medium, Cornish Orchards Blush, Applejack Kingston Black, Cracklin Rosie Perry & Lilleys Lemon & Lime. The helpful guy in charge suggested a Caribbean take away just down the road and gave us their takeaway menu to allow us to order and have one more for the road. In fact, we took a 6 pint take out too! This place only opened in December (2015). So word has clearly not got round about its existence yet. Hopefully the people of Stoke will support this, as it's a really good addition to the town's pub scene.
